3. Configuration Options

Assigning Time Slots to the Network Interface

Before assigning network time slots for use by frame relay traffic, configure the

Network physical and Frame Relay options (if needed), then allow Time Slot

Discovery to autodetect and assign the appropriate time slots to frame relay.

If there are multiple Frame Relay data links on the network interface, or if Time Slot Discovery is not currently active, you can manually assign time slots on the network interface for frame relay traffic using the Frame Relay Network Assignments screen. This screen is read-only when Time Slot Discovery is set to Enable for the network interface.

Value

Meaning

 

 

Time Slot

Specifies whether the time slots used for frame relay traffic should

Discovery

be discovered from the network interface upon detection of an LMI

 

failure. This option allows additional time slots to be added without

 

manually reconfiguring the device.

 

 

Ntt

This field represents time slot tt of the selected network interface.

 

 

Assigned

The time slot is already assigned to something other than frame

 

relay, so it is unavailable. Assigned time slots cannot be modified

 

from this screen.

 

 

Available

The time slot is currently unassigned.

 

 

FrameRly1

The time slot is assigned to frame relay service, link 1.

 

 

FrameRly2

The time slot is assigned to frame relay service, link 2.

 

 

PPP

The time slot is assigned to the network interface.
